Chudu is a city in the Wei Kingdom, but it is still often referred to as "Chaoge" internationally.
After spring comes, the already fertile Chaoge area becomes wet and muddy paddy soil due to the melting of ice and snow.
After the new wheat sprouts, it will soon grow vigorously.
It's just that the people of Wei don't eat much wheat, so they only grow more wheat to prepare for famines and to prepare feed for their livestock.
Last year, there were many more caravans harvesting wheat in Zheng. The inventory of the old year actually made many Wei people make a lot of money. The income in the two months of winter and twelfth lunar month was equivalent to the past one or two years.
This year, the old families in Chaoge plan to continue to expand the wheat planting area.
Follow the "Wei Road" to the southwest, and you can see a small town without going to Nanhe. This is Muyi, and it was also the former Muye.
Since the decline of the previous dynasty, Muyi has been a special treasure. The nobles who were granted the title of Wei often spend the winter in Muyi because it is very close to Jijin and across the river is the land of Zheng and Song Dynasties.
Last year, the ups and downs of the Xu Kingdom's national situation really shook the waists of the Wei Kingdom's monarchs and ministers.
Seeing that Xu Guo's salted fish turned over, Wei Guo could do something on Xu Guo's territory, at least doing business would be much easier. He never expected that this group of mentally retarded people actually colluded with the "烃狁", and then went to find Wu
Unlock this beast...
Then... there is no more.
Now it is even more exaggerated. Xu Guoren who fled even said that "Li Jie also did it." What did he do? He met the envoy of Emperor Zhou, gave gifts to the envoy of Emperor Zhou, and planned to accept the title granted by Emperor Zhou.
The king of Weiguo immediately said that he and his friends were shocked!
How could there be such a mentally retarded person in this world?!
Princess Wei, who had crossed Nanhe, was attacked by several waves of armed men of unknown origin. Many of them had Kansai accents and were obviously from the Old Qin Dynasty.
King Wei didn't know how he got involved with Qin, and he didn't want to know, but the feeling of stepping on shit was really disgusting to the extreme.
When my sister arrived on the territory of Zheng State, whether she could successfully reach Xu State became a mystery. It was simply an adventure game.
The level difficulty is still hellish.
There were rumors in the rivers and lakes that Li Jie wanted to kidnap his sister. The king of Wei was a little uneasy, so he found "Jijin Diaosou".
This is a wise man. After winter, he fishes in the Nanhe River.
Locals don't like to eat river fish because it's troublesome to cook, has a fishy smell, is prickly, and is very unpleasant.
However, "Jijin Diaosou" is obviously not included in this list. He is from the south and has a very flexible tongue. He can lick the fish bones out with just a few licks.
The Marquis of Wei had no choice but to find the "Jijin Diaosou" who had already served as an official in the Wei Kingdom and had received several months' salary.
"Please tell Mr. Jiang, is this Wu Jie really extremely lustful and has no regard for the overall situation?"
On the bank of the Nan River, to the left of Ji Jin, an old man wrapped in fox fur and a hood huddled in a shack, with a fishing rod stretched out and a buoy hanging in the river. In the Yellow River where winter and spring alternate, the fish in the water are the most delicious.
.
At this time, the Yellow River is not full of mud and sand. There are also times when it is refreshing. After the ice melts in the river, you can often catch some fat fish by digging a hole.
"Your Majesty, I have said time and again that Li Jie always acts regardless of the consequences and is like a beast."
The old man huddled there reached out and touched a Jiangyin pottery pot, shook it, and there seemed to be a sound of liquid sloshing inside. He immediately put it to his mouth and took a sip.
Occasionally, the liquid slipped and turned out to be amber in color. It was obviously "Baisha Niang", which is sugar residue wine.
"Oh, here comes the fish!"
The old man raised his hand and drew the pole. The pole immediately bent into an arc like a long bow.
"Get the net!"
"yes!"
A young man with a southern accent came out of the shack. He picked up the fishing net and went outside the shack. He stood on the shore and waited for the fish to approach.
There was no slipping fish, and the fish struggled not very hard. I don’t know if it was because of the cold spring.
Wow!
The net quickly picked up the fish. It was a carp, with a red tail, big eyes, golden scales, and two extremely long whiskers, which looked like two longevity eyebrows.
"Your Majesty, don't wait until you have some braised carp."
"..."
Marquis Wei looked depressed and was in a very bad mood.
When he thought that his sister was going to be kidnapped, Marquis Wei thought that he might as well kidnap her himself.
The feeling of being used for free is really terrible.
Marquis Wei was invited to sit down. Although the shack looked simple from the outside, it was well-furnished inside. It not only had a stove, but also an iron pot. The iron pot was quite big, and it was also full of bottles and cans.
The oil is filled in oil cans, which are all rapeseed oil. It is native to Weiguo and cannot be pressed.
The oil pot itself is made of glass. If you just throw this bottle in Qidu, it can be replaced by another house.
Even the eating compartment is paved with stone slabs under the feet, which is very flat. The reason why it is flat is because the construction was special. There is a layer of fine river sand underneath, which is extremely finely screened.
Press the slate on the river sand, and then use a mallet to pound it tightly little by little, and then the entire ground will become tightly fitted and very smooth.
It's just that this kind of construction method cannot be found in Weiguo. Marquis Wei also wants to renovate the palace, but unfortunately the domestic engineering teams are useless.
The wide network of "Jijin Diaosou" can also be seen in the details.
Marquis Wei patiently sat and drank tea with the old man. This tea was also unusual. It did not need to be boiled, just brewed with boiling water. It was bitter at first and then sweet, with a sweet aftertaste and a refreshing fragrance, and it was very greasy.
Holding the tea cup, the outer layer of the ceramic tea cup has enamel, the color is bright, and it feels great in the hand because there are wavy undulations on the tea cup, which fits the hand very well.
While drinking tea, the old man brought out some snacks, which were nothing more than candied melons and fruits, as well as some nuts from the north and south.
In addition to fat-rich pine nuts, there are also walnuts, and Weihou can even see very complete walnut kernels.
After entering the mouth, the aroma is satisfying. The rich layering, combined with the tea, makes the whole person feel warm. The sunshine in winter and spring is slightly shining, which makes me feel more happy.
The dishes are simple but full of ingredients.
There is a kind of bacon that is not available in Weiguo. In the small room of the shack, there are two skewers hanging, which have been cut into several sections, with very obvious cuts.
This is a delicious delicacy brought by the old man. Pour oil into the iron pot and stir-fry, then add a handful of off-season vegetables, whether it is garlic leaves, leek leaves or wok leaves, it is extremely delicious.
The wine to accompany the meal is "Baisha Niang" produced in Jiangyin City. It is amber in color and is also called "amber wine". It was very popular in Zheng and Song Dynasties.
The main reason is to save food. Of course, the slightly sweet taste is also an important reason.
In the past, Marquis Wei always worked as a "gentleman far away from the kitchen", but when he came to "Jijin Diaosou", he really liked to watch fish being killed, especially the fish-killing knife of the old man's place, which was very unique and sharp.
When it came to killing the fish, the technique was something Weiren had never seen before.
I saw the boy skillfully bleeding the carp, removing its scales and gills. After cleaning it, he made two cuts on the fish, carefully pulled out the two white lines, and then changed the carp's knife.
Put oil in the pot, sauté the ginger slices, and fry the carp until golden brown on both sides, then start seasoning...
After some dizzying operations, add water, cover the pot, and wait for the carp to cook.
As the king of the Wei Kingdom, Marquis Wei cannot enjoy such a showy operation. Only by coming to "Jijin Diaosou" can he enjoy unprecedented pleasure.
Not long after, the shack was filled with fragrance, which was a good smell with a bit of burnt and soybean aroma. On the other earthen stove, steamed rice was ready, using Wuhu rice, which was very delicious.
White and clean, like pearls.
In addition, there is also a layer of white flour steamed buns, which is not available in Weiguo. If Marquis Wei wants to have a meal, he has to borrow some old noodles from "Jijin Diaosou" to bake the dough. If others want to borrow it, they must also
Not qualified to speak.
I opened the pot and sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions from somewhere. The juice was just right. After putting the carp on a porcelain plate, the cook brought the dish to the table.
"Your Majesty, please."
"oh oh."
Marquis Wei was flattered and raised his glass. The old man poured a glass of wine slowly. The wine was still warm and exuded a pleasant aroma.
It's just that this table is steaming hot, so there's nothing that doesn't taste good.
Wei Hou couldn't help but swallowed. At this time, Wei Hou completely forgot about his sister being prostituted for free.
Picking up the bamboo chopsticks, Wei Hou picked up a little bacon. After entering the mouth, the aroma with a little bit of pepper or something slightly pickled exploded directly between the mouth and tongue, and his expression suddenly became happy.
"Your Majesty, try these fish lips."
The old man nodded the carp head. Seeing this, Marquis Wei hurriedly said: "Thank you, please..."
After poking the fish lip off and putting it into his mouth, Wei Hou nodded with satisfaction at the smooth texture of the gelatin and the rich soup. His eyes narrowed into a line and he naturally grabbed a steamed bun.
Then took a bite.
"Except for the fish lips, the cheek meat and the spine meat are all top quality."
"good!"
In the past, when eating fish, Marquis Wei liked to eat fish belly, mainly because it had no spines. But now that he was eating it, he realized that there were actually quite a few areas without spines, and the taste was also good.
The monarch and his ministers enjoyed a delicious meal. After they were full, Marquis Wei let out a long breath, smiled and lay on the lounge chair to bask in the sun, and patted his belly unconsciously: "This is the first time in my life that I have eaten to my heart's content.
"
As soon as he said this, Marquis Wei suddenly became excited and thought to himself: What is the reason for this little man coming here?!
